A box of 4 Tapo Smart plugs - reduced on Amazon, so thought they would be handy for lamps, etc., for when we’re on holiday.

Cracking price. I would not be without smart plugs now. Have loads

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I agree, I have quite a few too, they're good for putting certain lights on automatically at sunset etc. Also good for Alexa to turn on/off lights on command too. All my lights are Hue lights so have full control via Alexa, Siri, iphone, ipad and timed.

I've got a couple of the energy monitoring ones also, they're handy to just get an idea of the power consumption of whatever you plug into them, but they're not needed. Just one is enough to get the info to know how much energy is used for certain things and to change their usages accordingly if needed.

Very good price though. Good find.

I've ordered some from that link for an Xmas present. So thanks for that.

I too have a couple of energy monitoring plugs. I like Alexa routines so one command can turn on or off multiple devices in one go. Especially good first thing in the morning and last thing at night

Do any of you know if the tapo smart plugs fit/work if plugged into a multi gang trailing socket?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Plugged into, then yes, no problem. Plugging a multi extension into a tapo, not so sure how much they can handle and don't see the point of that anyway.

So yes no probs if plugged into one.

The P100s are rated 13amp

I can see a point if you have an AV set up plugged into a 4 gang extension and want to power it all up and down off one smart plug

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes, tapo plugged into one of the multi sockets. Thanks.
